Day 34 Thursday 20th July

We continued on the one-lane road today most of the way to Mt Isa. We had an early get-away time from Boulia and arrived in Mt Isa around lunchtime. Mt Isa is quite a thriving town and Rob decided to investigate whether it was possible to have some work done on the vehicle here which would make towing a little easier. Several places could do the work but the parts would take a few days to come in. Rob sorted things out and the vehicle will be worked on with the new parts (new rear suspension) Monday week (31/7). We went to the visitor information centre to work out what we were going to do here and have things pretty well planned for the next week or so. We’ve book-in for the “Hard Times Mine Tour” tomorrow so that should be interesting.
